undertaken in great conditions on Tuesday 27th.
Some expected species were not seen on the morning, and nothing unexpected showed up. Even the Brown goshawks failed to put in an appearance, for the first time for ages. The Black-shouldered kites which have been recent regulars (4 a couple of weeks ago) were not around either.
Plenty of parrots looking out from hollows (Eastern and Crimson rosellas, Little corellas) and a currawong on a nest in one survey site. The aggressive magpie nesting near the entrance watched but didn't swoop as I passed it. Eastern rosellas everywhere, in noisy groups of 4-10, and a dozen dusky woodswallows up along the quarry fence. Fantastic views of an olive-backed oriole at first survey site as it foraged in head-height euc. regrowth.
